Hi to all; Has anyone worked with 800 to 850 nm light? Many thanks for your time. Statictable

Hi, i am currently using laser with 810nm wavelenght, and 100w power. 700-900 is considered therpeutic range for musculoskeletal problems as well as trigger point treatment and laser acupuncture. It does not produce any heat, and the light is infrared. Most devices are around 800-850. Dont LOOK into the probe when its on, as the laser can damage your retina!!!

"It does not produce any heat, and the light is infrared"

But infrared IS heat... ??

Budhabelly

The difference is in the wavelenght. higher wavelenght have more heat and are used in cosmetic surgery (hair removal, acne treatments etc)

Some lower wavelenght become red visible light, and that also produces heat (which is what i believe you were referring to Capuchin)

Capuchin

no, infra-red IS heat. we all emit infra red in the form of heat.
